About Bid Whist - Classic
Bid Whist is an exciting, popular partnership trick-taking game. It is played with a standard 52 card deck plus 2 jokers, for a total of 54 cards. There are 4 players consisting of two teams; each player sits opposite their partner. The game starts with each team at zero, and the object of the game is to reach a score 7 or more points, or force the other team to go negative 7 or more points. Points are scored by bidding for and winning tricks, which in this game are called books.
*No Trump Bids will double your points (win or lose the bid)
The Bidding
The turn to bid goes around the table only once starting with the player to the left of the dealer. Each bid consists of a number from 4 to 7, and a suffix "uptown", "downtown", or "no trump".
The number indicates the number of books above 6 that the bidder's team will contract to win - for example a bid of 5 is a promise to win at least 11 books (6 + 5). As there are 13 books in all, 7 is the highest possible bid.
Uptown (or "high") means you intend to name a trump suit, and that high cards will win.
Downtown (or "low") means that you intend to name a trump suit, and that low cards will win.
No Trump means that there will be no trump, and that if you win the bidding you will then determine whether high or low cards will have preference.
Added an option for Easy or Traditional(Hard Bidding). With Hard Bidding, you can only see the Kitty Cards after you have selected the Trump Suit and Direction(Uptown or Downtown) of your hand. With Easy Bidding, you can see the Kitty cards before you select the Trump Suit or Direction(with a No Trump Bid).

Moves to fast. Can't see what's played. I don't like that you have to click the card you want to play and click the middle of the table to play your card.

...since when does a 4 up outrank a 4 down? and why does my P cut me out of tricks that I locked up, and mess up our bid? and why is it that every time i win the kitty on a no-trump bid, there is ALWAYS a joker in the kitty, without fail? noap...i'm gonna go find another bid whist dealie...this ain't gettin' it.

Why does your partner bid before you and doesn't have his bid and only does it when you have points, no one bids if they don't have to, when their partner has the take out bid. Now granted if your partner is giving you a direction for a no trump before their partner bid is fine but they don't even have what they bid before you. They bid for no reason.

It would be nice to have the choice of a 4 downtown out bids an 4 uptown.
